Ein ziemlich schräger Serienmörder und ein ziemlich verzweifelter Detektiv. “The multi-layered plot is so gripping, I didn’t want the book to end and at the same time, couldn’t wait to finish it. This is definitely one of my favorite Deon Meyer books, and they’re all terrific.” (Leser) (68 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 474 Seiten noch günstig?

Backroads, No Plan, Good Deeds, & Pee Wee Reiseberichte von Cliff Ramos
Cliff Ramos begibt sich seit acht Jahren mit seinem besten Freund auf eine scheinbar ziellose Reise – einfach quer und kreuz durch die USA. „Two best friends set off each summer to learn more about the backroads of the country all the while performing simple deeds to those they encounter. Its obvious these are two guys that anyone would like to be around, especially on a long roadtrip.
